wait, coz is stopping dashlaunch development now, and the XeBuild team is giving up because of xecuter's fusion kernel announcement? guess FSD is dead in the water then too.

I can't see that as true - but interest may be so low that it isn't worth the bother.

Also coz is a great software developer, I think he enjoys the challenges with it.

What are you talking about? This doesn't affect xebuild or fsd - if you knew anything you'd know that some of the xecuter guys are active as staff in those irc channels and work alongside those teams. The Fusion kernel will work WITH those projects and enhance them. If you knew anything you'd see that they are testing DemoN with Fusion and FSD / RXE. Where do you people get your silly info from?

Xecuter even helped cOz by supplying him with hardware for him to work on his next big project, which he will now have lots of time to do.

Enough of the lame rumours and just enjoy - cOz hasn't gone anywhere - its just that dashlaunch is at the end of its life cycle - nothing more nothing less.

Even if EA servers are up, I don't think You could connect to them...But I will be very happy If I am wrong .

I can't get fakelive = true to do anything with my live account. I didn't add the information to the xbox though (this prompt to add info pops up every time I log in to it, I always choose no).

Anyone get fakelive = true to do anything? Do you have to be on the latest dash? I'm still on 599.

EDIT: ok well it looks like in Mass Effect 3, that the game thinks I'm connected to live. It appears that if the EA servers where up, I could connect to them in game. Before fakelive=true, this of course wouldn't work at all.

never read the NFO, was just going on this thread. Guess DashLaunch is done! thanks for the contribution coz. Hope the next challenge is just as rewarding!

Thanks again to cOz, Node21 and everyone else who has made homebrew on the xbox 360 what it is today! I thank you guys sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

You may not realise it, but you have contributed to improving the quality of lives for many people, including handicapped children who's parents may now be able to afford everything that comes with a retail kernel due to their added expenses and what-not. You tireless efforts have improved their lives and that of their parents. This is something I have witnessed first-hand. The way you guys kept adding features that added functionality(or removed it) which allow parents to tailor their console to their child's needs in ways that cannot be done with normal retail consoles (eg some kids have trouble handling discs etc..) It's truly amazing, and I salute you all!

It is a pity that some of us have used the wonderful opportunities to do silly things that invite the wrath of M$, but the next-time thinking about that gets you down or has you questioning your motives, I suggest you remember the others you have helped. Neural-Plasticity is an area which is as-yet relatively un-explored form a console-game standpoint, But I can tell you that the interactions etc.. Have a positive effect on kids who's brains fall outside the norm. I have seen some quiet kids who wont look you in the eye or talk to being very happy and interactive individuals and a large part of that is their use of a console that allows them to choose games to their liking and try them (try to do this for them is very difficult as you can't tell what they will like) Also many of these kids find reading difficult, and may not take well to the constant stream of dash updates, keeping them playing new games seems to be good for them, but they can find dash-updates overwhelming if they can't find their games. FSD and DL have given them the needed consistency for the to learn to recognize basic words etc..

Anyways, I'm even more busy these days (if that's possible) and wasn't sure when I might find another time to mention this, now seemed appropriate. Perhaps you guys can pass it on to other homebrew devs, as I may not get the chance to do it properly.

Fusion is a replacement kernel that runs on JTAG'd and Glitched boxes, nobody will be paying anything for it, it is 100% free, and will remain so.

With Fusion, Dashlaunch is simply no longer needed.

If you are going to make such claims, you should at least try and find out if there is any truth to them first, before presenting them as fact.

That may be true, but there is discussion over at the TX forums where one of the admins says a DemoN is required. Regardless, cOz does seem to strike a rather bitter tone in his readme:

Dash Launch 2.32----------------

It's been a long fun road full of headaches and cheers, and I'm glad you alljoined me on this journey. 2.32 marks the end of my work on this project aswell as bringing fast patch updates for new versions to other projects now thatthe expert-tease of 3rd party product providers steps up to provide... wellthat remains to be seen, but look to them when the next update rolls out.

Just a little bonus, its not documented elsewhere but was being worked on asthe next feature, and as it stands it is incomplete. fakelive=true, see whathappens when you use a live account to start an app. There, that is my expert-tease to punctuate the last 2.5 years of work, and I didn't even try to sellyou a damned thing

Personally, I don't see why the release of a modified kernel has to mean the end of everything else. All restrictions have been removed already, and some of us don't care for custom boot logos and the like. I actually prefer my JTAG to appear as stock as possible, so I boot into NXE and rarely use FSD at all. The status quo has served me well.
